Chapter 1042: Chapter 474: Preparing to Retreat

"This is nothing!"

Li Yunjing shook his head and pointed at the Long-armed Ape, saying, "I got the news from the Ape King that there are nine Tier Four Demon Kings in this world! If we encounter them, we’re finished."

"Hiss..."

The six members of the "Primordial Yang Dao Sect" all gasped.

"Besides the ’Red Flame Poison Scorpion’ we encountered earlier, are there other Tier Four Demon Kings?"

Master Zhu Yang struggled to digest this information and asked another question.

"Yes! That’s why I need to leave! We’ve been a bit reckless coming here!"

Li Yunjing nodded affirmatively, and with a flick of his hand, the "Cyan Cloud Ship" was tossed into the air, suddenly transforming into a large ship thirty-three zhang long.

"Let’s go! Master Zhu Yang, you lead everyone onto the ship and take a rest! We’re crossing the sea to find Senior Sister Ying!"

Li Yunjing looked at Master Zhu Yang and continued to speak.

Master Zhu Yang nodded solemnly upon hearing this and immediately called the disciples of the "Primordial Yang Dao Sect" to board the ship.

Although everyone was seriously injured, they couldn’t afford to recuperate at this moment and quickly jumped onto the "Cyan Cloud Ship".

The Long-armed Ape hesitated for a moment but eventually followed, mumbling, "Crossing the sea? You better think it through, the sea region of the ’Burial Immortal Ancient Realm’ is much more dangerous than the land..."

Li Yunjing stood at the prow of the ship, forming a seal with one hand, and the "Cyan Cloud Ship" immediately emitted a cyan spiritual light, slowly rising into the air.

Standing on the deck, he turned to look at the Long-armed Ape, and asked indifferently, "Oh? What dangers are there in the sea region?"

"The sea region is the territory of the ’Profound Nether Jiao King’, that creature is violent and loves to devour creatures from the land."

The Long-armed Ape scratched his head and lowered his voice, "And there are countless fierce beasts in the sea, much tougher to deal with than wolves on land."

"Oh! Just make sure we avoid the territory of the ’Profound Nether Jiao King’!"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow but still chose not to take a detour, continuing to accelerate the "Cyan Cloud Ship," turning into a streak of cyan light and flying towards the distant sea surface.

Half a day later, they had already moved far from the coast.

The vast blue sea stretched endlessly, with the occasional lone island punctuating the expanse.

Master Zhu Yang had rested enough and came to the deck, looking at the calm sea, yet his expression remained vigilant, "Fellow Daoist Li, which direction do we head to next? In this vast sea, how do we find Fellow Daoist Ying?"

"We’ll give it a try! I’ll use the ’Shenxiao Divine Forging Celestial Secret Technique’ to continually deduce the celestial secrets to locate Senior Sister Ying and the ’Black Tortoise Army,’ we shouldn’t have any problem!"

Li Yunjing’s expression was very relaxed.

As his cultivation improved, he became more and more adept at using the ’Shenxiao Divine Forging Celestial Secret Technique.’

As if guided by fate, he could truly find the direction.

"Oh? I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist Li to also be skilled in the ’Celestial Secret Technique’?"

Master Zhu Yang looked at Li Yunjing with a face full of shock.

This guy is too formidable!

People proficient in the ’Celestial Secret Technique’ are the hardest to deal with, as they can calculate their own fortunes and disasters and also track others.

Offending someone like that almost always leads to being ambushed.

Given Li Yunjing’s powerful combat ability, if he traced those who became his enemies, their days were certainly numbered.

At this moment, Master Zhu Yang secretly rejoiced that he had not thoroughly provoked this person.

Otherwise, life would indeed be filled with anxiety.

After all, who would dare to have an enemy like Li Yunjing?

"Not bad! Just beginning to grasp it, still needs more cultivation."

Li Yunjing said modestly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the calm sea suddenly surged violently!

"Watch out!"

The Long-armed Ape suddenly jumped up, pointing into the distance, and exclaimed, "It’s the patrol squad of the ’Profound Nether Jiao King’!"

Suddenly, dozens of water pillars appeared on the sea surface, each topped with a shrimp soldier or crab general wielding a trident.

Leading them was a massive turtle demon, its shell gleaming with a metallic luster, apparently possessing Tier Three cultivation!

"Humans again? How dare you trespass into the Jiao King’s sea territory!"

The turtle demon spoke human words, its voice booming like thunder.

"Accelerate and shake them off!"

Li Yunjing immediately sent a message to Fu Chao in the cockpit.

From the words of this giant turtle king, Li Yunjing realized it had encountered humans before!

Among the cultivators who arrived at the "Burial Immortal Ancient Realm" through the teleportation array, besides the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and "Primordial Yang Dao Sect," there were only a few loose cultivators and demon cultivators.

The numbers from those two sides were few, and their strength was weak.

They probably died in the encounter with the ’Red Flame Poison Scorpion’.

The remaining people were at most ten or eight experts.

According to Li Yunjing’s speculation, it was highly likely that they were people from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," entering the sea region from another direction and having contact with the sea creatures.

Confronted with these sea monsters, Li Yunjing had no interest in entangling with them.

That ’Profound Nether Jiao King’ is an extremely formidable Tier Four Demon King, possibly even among the top of the nine great demon kings.

Their strength was not something Li Yunjing could contend with!

He just wanted to quickly reunite with the main force of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," return to the desert, and find an opportunity to activate the teleportation array and leave the "Burial Immortal Ancient Realm."

"Got it!"

Fu Chao, extremely skilled at operating the "Cyan Cloud Ship," quickly inserted many Spirit Stones, causing the ship to emit a tremendous booming sound, turning into a streak of light and shooting away.

Its speed was like lightning.

The demon beasts had just appeared and hadn’t figured out what was happening when they found the ship and its passengers had vanished in a flash.

"Chase them! Capture them!"

The giant turtle was furious and immediately issued a command.
